Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Malibu Boats, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or "Malibu") was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 1, 2013, as a holding company for the purposes of facilitating an initial public offering (the "IPO") of shares of its Class common stock par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"). The Company was not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and registration of its IPO of Class A Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Following the recapitalization transactions completed immediately prior to the closing of IPO and IPO transactions completed on February 5, 2014, the Company became the sole managing member of and acquired a controlling interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the "LLC"). As the sole managing member the Company operates and controls all of the LLC's business and affairs and, therefore, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, "Consolidation", consolidates the financial results of the LLC and its subsidiaries, and recorded a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in the Company held by the holders of units in the LLC ("LLC Units"). Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC was formed in 2006 with the acquisition by an investor group, including affiliates of Black Canyon Capital LLC, Horizon Holdings, LLC and then-current management. Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC is engaged in the design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing of innovative, high-quality, performance sports boats that are sold through a world-wide network of independent dealers. On October 23, 2014, Malibu Australian Acquisition Corp., an indirect subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Malibu Boats Pty. Ltd. (the "Licensee"), Malibu's Australian licensee manufacturer with exclusive distributions rights in Australia and New Zealand markets. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Licensee from the closing date of the transaction and such consolidation has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financials statements and notes thereto for the period ended June 30, 2015 . Refer to Note 4 related to the Company's acquisition of the Licensee. Offerings On July 15, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on offering (the "Follow-on Offering") of 5,520,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price to the public of $18.50 per share, of which 4,371,893 shares were issued and sold by the Company and 1,148,107 shares were sold by selling stockholders. This included 538,252 shares issued and sold by the Company and 181,748 shares sold by selling stockholders pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, which was exercised concurrently with the closing of the Follow-on Offering.The aggregate gross proceeds from the Follow-on Offering was $102,120 . Of these proceeds, the Company received $76,836 and the selling stockholders received $20,178 , after deducting $5,106 in underwriting discounts and commissions. All the proceeds from the Follow-on Offering were used to purchase LLC Units directly from the holders of LLC Units. On March 13, 2015, the Company commenced an offer to purchase up to $70,000 in value of shares of its Class A Common Stock, including shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exchange of LLC Units, for cash by means of a “modified Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”). Pursuant to the Tender Offer, holders could tender all or a portion of their shares of Class A Common Stock (1) at a price specified by the tendering stockholder of not less than $21.00 and not more than $23.50 per share of Class A Common Stock, or (2) without specifying a purchase price, in which case their shares of Class A Common Stock would be purchased at the purchase price determined in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Upon completion of the Tender Offer, on April 15, 2015, the Company purchased 3,333,333 shares of Class A Common Stock, including 2,602,923 Class A Common Stock issued upon the exchange of LLC Units, at a purchase price of $21.00 per share. The Company funded the purchase price, including the related fees and expenses of approximately $1,523 , with borrowings under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which was entered into on April 2, 2015. Refer to Note 12 for more information on the Tender Offer. On May 27, 2015, the Company completed a secondary offering of 3,996,255 shares of its Class A Common Stock, including 2,967,267 shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued upon exchange of LLC Units, at a price to the public of $19.05 per share, after deducting underwriters discounts and commissions, all of which were sold by selling stockholders (the “Secondary Offering”). In addition, this included 521,250 shares issued and sold by selling stockholders pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, which was exercised concurrently with the closing of the Secondary Offering. The Company did not sell any shares of Common Stock in the public offering and did not receive any proceeds. Refer to Note 12 for more information on the Secondary Offer. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation. Units and shares are presented as whole numbers while all dollar amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations and accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries thereof. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiary is the applicable local currency. The assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the applicable period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating the foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are reflected as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," in the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and periodic changes are included in comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive Income (Loss) Components of comprehensive income (loss) include net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income (loss) in a single continuous statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Segment Reporting The Company reports its results of operations under two reportable segments called the U.S. and Australia based on their respective manufacturing footprints. Each segment participates in the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of performance sport boats. The U.S. operating segment primarily serves markets in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia while the Australia operating segment principally serves the Australian and New Zealand markets. Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, consumer demand for its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing if and when needed. Concentration of Credit and Business Risk A majority of the Company’s sales are made pursuant to floor plan financing programs in which the Company participates on behalf of its dealers through a contingent repurchase agreement with various third-party financing institutions. Under these arrangements, a dealer establishes a line of credit with one or more of these third-party lenders for the purchase of dealer boat inventory. When a dealer purchases and takes delivery of a boat pursuant to a floor plan financing arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice cost of the boat directly to the Company within approximately two weeks. For dealers that use local floor plan financing programs or pay cash, the Company may extend credit without collateral under the dealer agreement based on the Company’s evaluation of the dealer’s credit risk and past payment history. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses that it believes are adequate. Refer to Note 1 “Trade Accounts Receivable” for factors considered in determining the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2015 (unaudited), the Company’s distribution channel consisted of 178 independent dealers worldwide. No single dealer accounted for more than 4.7% of the Company’s unit volume for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 , or 2013 . The Company’s top ten dealers represented 33.7% , 34.1% , and 36.1% , of the Company’s volume for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 , or 2013 , respectively. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , no highly liquid investments were held and the entire balance consists of traditional cash. At June 30, 2015 and 2014 , substantially all cash on hand was held by one financial institution. This cash on deposit may be, at times, in excess of insurance limits provided by the FDIC. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the allowance for doubtful receivables was $80 and $123 , respectively. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding beyond customer terms. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on the first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis. Manufacturing cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Unallocated overhead and abnormal costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization of Offering Costs Capitalized offering costs are costs directly attributable to the Company's shelf registration statement and equity offerings. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 , they were related to the Company's IPO. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , $108 and $644 of costs directly attributable to the Company's shelf registration statement and equity offerings, were capitalized as prepaid assets. Upon closing of the offerings, these costs are netted against the proceeds and, as such, are reclassified into additional paid in capital. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , capitalized offering costs of $1,498 and $1,550 were netted against the proceeds of the Company's equity offerings. Remaining costs attributable to the Company's shelf registration statement will be netted against the proceeds of future offerings under the shelf registration statement based on the number of shares sold in the offering and total number of shares available for issuance under the shelf registration statement. Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding the Company's equity offerings. Property and Equipment Property and equipment acquired outside of acquisition are stated at cost. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is accounted for in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Major additions are capitalized; maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred if they do not increase the life or productivity of the related capitalized asset. Depreciation on leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life and depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows: Years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease term Machinery and equipment 3-5 Furniture and fixtures 3-5 The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews for any indicators and, if indicators are present, tests the carrying value of long-lived assets, assessing their net realizable values based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over their remaining estimated useful lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis, as of June 30, unless circumstances indicate the need for impairment testing between the annual tests in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” If this assessment indicates the possibility of impairment, the income approach to test for goodwill impairment would be used unless circumstances indicate that a better estimate of fair value was available. Under the income approach, management calculates the fair value of its reporting units based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of an individual reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets including goodwill assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then management determines the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of relationships, reacquired franchise rights, product trade names, legal and contractual rights surrounding a patent and a non-compete agreement. These assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates using the income approach. These assets are being amortized using straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives ranging from eight to 15 years. The estimated useful lives of acquired dealer relationships consider the average length of dealer relationships at the time of acquisition, historical rates of dealer attrition and retention, the Company’s history of renewal and extension of dealer relationships, as well as competitive and economic factors resulting in a range of useful lives. The useful life of reacquired franchise rights is based on the remainder of the contractual term of the Licensee's exclusive manufacturing and distributors agreement with the Company. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s product trade names are based on a number of factors including technological obsolescence and the competitive environment. The estimated useful lives of legal and contractual rights are estimated based on the benefits that the patent provides for its remaining terms unless competitive, technological obsolescence or other factors indicate a shorter life. The useful life of the non-compete agreement is based on a ten-year agreement entered into by the Company and former owner of the Licensee as part of the acquisition. Management, assisted by third-party valuation specialists, determined the estimated fair values of separately identifiable intangible assets at the date of acquisition under the income approach. Significant data and assumptions used in the valuations included cost, market and income comparisons, discount rates, royalty rates and management forecasts. Discount rates for each intangible asset were selected based on judgment of relative risk and approximate rates of returns investors in the subject assets might require. The royalty rates were developed using weighted average rates, which were based on projected sales and profits of products sold and management’s assessment of the intangibles’ importance to the sales and profitability of the product. Management provided forecasts of financial data pertaining to assets, liabilities and income statement balances to be utilized in the valuations. While management believes the assumptions, estimates, appraisal methods and ensuing results are appropriate and represent the best evidence of fair value in the circumstances, modification or use of other assumptions or methods could have yielded different results. The carrying amount of intangible assets are reviewed whenever circumstances arise that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of these assets is compared to the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the carrying value is compared to the fair value and this difference is recognized as an impairment loss. There was no impairment loss recognized on intangible assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Treasury Share Retirement In connection with the Tender Offer completed on April 15, 2015, the Company repurchased 3,333,333 shares of Class A Common Stock and subsequently retired those shares. The Company accounts for acquisition of treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury shares are retired, the Company's policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both accumulated earnings and additional paid in capital on a pro rata basis, determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares issued. Income Taxes Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. Following the IPO, the LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company files various federal and state tax returns, including some returns that are consolidated with subsidiaries. The Company accounts for the current and deferred tax effects of such returns using the asset and liability method. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the Company's current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, which reflect management's best assessment of the estimated future taxes it will pay. These estimates are updated throughout the year to consider income tax return filings, its geographic mix of earnings, legislative changes and other relevant items. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts applicable for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets represent items to be realized as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns. Realization of the deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in either the carryback or carryforward period. Each quarter the Company analyzes the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized (see Note 11). On an annual basis, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of all forms of positive and negative evidence based on year end results. During each interim period, the Company updates its annual analysis for significant changes in the positive and negative evidence. If the Company later determines that realization is more likely than not for deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance, the related valuation allowance will be reduced. Conversely, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets, the Company will increase the valuation allowance. The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based upon the technical merits of the position. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the income tax benefit as the largest amount that it judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Company's income tax provision includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has filed initial returns that reflect no taxable income in applicable jurisdictions for the period ending June 30, 2014, which remains open to examination. Its subsidiaries, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and Malibu Boats Pty Ltd., remain open to examination for years 2011 through 2014 in certain tax jurisdictions. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes its liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate. The Company considers an issue to be resolved at the earlier of the issue being “effectively settled,” settlement of an examination, or the expiration of the statute of limitations. Upon resolution, unrecognized tax benefits will be reversed as a discrete event. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits is generally presented as noncurrent. However, if it anticipates paying cash within one year to settle an uncertain tax position, the liability is presented as current. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Tax Receivable Agreement As a result of exchanges of LLC Units into Class A Common Stock and purchases by the Company of LLC Units from holders of LLC Units, the Company will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of the LLC at the time of such exchanges or purchases. In addition, such exchanges or purchases of LLC Units are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. In connection with the Recapitalization and IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for the payment by the Company to the pre-IPO owners (or any permitted assignees) of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the Company deems to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits, including those attributable to payments, under the tax receivable agreement. These payment obligations are the Company's obligations and are not obligations of the LLC. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the benefit deemed realized by the Company will be computed by comparing its actual income tax liability (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that it would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had the Company not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The timing and/or amount of aggregate payments due under the tax receivable agreement may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable and amortizable basis. The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement. In certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company (or its successor) would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC (or any permitted assignees) a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the tax receivable agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of all LLC Units and that the Company would have had sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. Revenue Recognition The Company generally manufactures products based on specific orders from dealers and often ships completed products only after receiving credit approval from financial institutions. Revenue is primarily recorded when all of the following conditions have been met: • an order for a product has been received; • a common carrier signs the delivery ticket accepting responsibility for the product; and • the product is removed from the Company’s property for delivery. These conditions are generally met when title passes, which is when boats are shipped to dealers in accordance with shipping terms, which are primarily free on board shipping point. Dealers generally have no rights to return unsold boats. From time to time, however, the Company may accept returns in limited circumstances and at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy, which generally limits returns to instances of manufacturing defects. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records as a liability the amount of such costs at the time the product revenue is recognized. The Company may be obligated, in the event of default by a dealer, to accept returns of unsold boats under its repurchase commitment to floor financing providers, who are able to obtain such boats through foreclosure. The Company accrues estimated losses when a loss, due to the default of one of its dealers, is determined to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Refer to Note 8 and Note 15 related to the Company’s product warranty and repurchase commitment obligations, respectively. Revenue from boat part sales is recorded as the product is shipped from the Company’s location, which is free on board shipping point. Revenue associated with sales of materials, parts, boats or engine products sold under the Company’s exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with its acquired Australian licensee are eliminated in consolidation. Revenue associated with sales to the independent representative responsible for international sales is recognized in accordance with free on board shipping point terms, the point at which the risks of ownership and loss pass to the representative. A fixed percentage discount is earned by the independent representative at the time of shipment to the representative as a reduction in the price of the boat and is recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations as a reduction in sales. The Company entered into a license agreement with Nautique on February 6, 2015 at the same time as the settlement of litigation with Nautique (see Note 15) and earns royalties on boats shipped with the Company's proprietary wake surfing technology. Royalty income earned is recorded in net sales in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Delivery Costs Shipping and freight costs are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Rebates, Promotions, Floor Financing and Incentives The Company provides for various structured dealer rebate and sales promotions incentives, which are recognized as a reduction in net sales, at the time of sale to the dealer. Examples of such programs include rebates, seasonal discounts, promotional co-op arrangements and other allowances. Dealer rebates and sales promotion expenses are estimated based on current programs and historical achievement and/or usage rates. Actual results may differ from these estimates if market conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if dealer achievement or other items vary from historical trends. Free floor financing incentives include payments to the lenders providing floor plan financing to the dealers or directly to the dealers themselves. Free floor financing incentives are estimated at the time of sale to the dealer based on the expected expense to the Company over the term of the free flooring period, ending in April each year, and are recognized as a reduction in sales. The Company accounts for both incentive payments directly to dealers and payment to third party lenders in this manner. Changes in the Company’s accrual for dealer rebates were as follows: As of June 30, 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of year $ 2,404 $ 2,709 Add: Additions to dealer rebate incentive provision 5,846 4,511 Less: Dealer rebates paid (5,085 ) (4,816 ) Balance at end of year $ 3,165 $ 2,404 Changes in the Company’s accrual for flooring financing were as follows: As of June 30, 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of year $ — $ — Add: Additions to flooring provision 2,813 2,197 Less: Flooring paid (2,813 ) (2,197 ) Balance at end of year $ — $ — Accrued Expenses The Company’s accrued expenses primarily consist of estimates for dealer rebates, promotions, floor financing, and incentives (see above), product warranties (refer to Note 8 for more information), litigation settlement payable (refer to Note 15 for additional information), interest on the Company's new term loan entered into on April 2, 2015 (refer to Note 9 for additional information) as well as normal obligations for compensation related costs and legal and professional fees. Derivative Instruments The Company follows the guidance set forth in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities |
